Going concern

Affirmed

“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events

• “During 2023 the Company entered into a deferred prosecution agreement with the United States Department of Justice and disgorged USD 508,000 (£418,693). No further charges were incurred during 2024.”
• “On 6 November 2024, the Company's former parent H. W. International B.V. agreed to sell the entire share capital of the Company to Steadfast Group Holdings (UK) Ltd. The sale completed on 3 December 2024.”
• “On 3 December 2024, the Company entered into a Deed of Termination with H.W. Wood International Limited, transferring its business portfolio to the Company.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
